Canadian Boating Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What should you do to ensure an anchor sets properly?

Tie the anchor line to the stern

Give a solid pull on the cable after it hits the bottom

To ensure an anchor sets properly, it is important to give a solid pull on the cable after it hits the bottom. This allows the anchor to dig into the seabed and secure the boat. Option A is incorrect because tying the anchor line to the stern would not necessarily ensure a proper set. Option C is incorrect because lowering the anchor from the stern may result in the anchor dragging along the bottom instead of digging in. Option D is incorrect because dropping the anchor quickly can also result in it dragging instead of setting properly.
